Matters Of Minor Importance
Hastily Gathered.

The little child of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. N.
Potter, who has been quite sick, is now
much better.
1t was extremely windy and dusty in
Cheyenne for ii greater portion OF the
time on Sunday.
A great many of our citizens took ad-
vantage of the good weather and went out
driving yesterday.
There are several parties in Cheyenne
living in tents and dugouts. not from ne
cessity but choice.
Work on the new depot il being pushed
with great vigor during the good weather
we are having at present.
There will be a regular meeting Of the
county commissioners at the court house
this morning at 10 o'clock.
The recovery of Signal Officer Richey,
who has been sick for the past three
weeks, is considered very doubtful.
The uniforms for the police have come,
but they do not fit, and will have to be
made over before our policemen will make
their appearance in them.
The policemen changed watches yester-
day, Nolan and Sullivan now having the
morning watch and Messrs. Thomasson
and Goddard the afternoon.
A parrot was won by Joe Rose at a
rattle at Altman's on Saturday evening,
and has been duly installed at his new

A fine stone pavement is to be put
down in front of Arp & Hammond's
hardware store. and also in front Of the
city market on Seventeenth street.
George j. Estell, the popular tinsmith,
has moved his quarters just one door north
on Eddy street. He will be better pre-
pared to fill all orders in his new place.
In the divorce case of Gilmore VS.. Gil
more an application is to be made this
week to set aside the order in relation 70
alimony made on the last day of the late

Frank Mcmahon. a former resident CT
Laramie county, and who resides at pres
ent at Rapid City, OAK. is in town shak-
ing hands with his many old friends
here.
Mdmc. Renfrew, modiste, located in
the Tilden block, corner Sixteenth street
and Warren avenue, will guarantee a per-
feet fitting garment and latest styles in
every instance.
The exercises at the NJ. 4. church on
next Thursday evening will consist almost
exclusively of Rotations from Longfellow.
In fact, it will be a regular Longfellow's
day, or, rather, a Longfellow's night.
The two baskets Of flowers, which,
among other things, were received BY
Miss Bessie Mcmahon on Friday evening
last, at the opera house, were displayed
at the Presbyterian church on Sunday on
either side of the pulpit.
The board of county commissioners in
their session to-day ought in justice and
fairness to increase the salary of Nick
Winkler. the present %janitor at the court
house. He actually earns a third more
than he is getting at present.
Rev. w. 0. Thompson, of Longmont,
preached at the Presbyterian church on
Sunday both morning and evening, hav-
ing exchanged places with Rev. j. Y.
Cowhick. who is temporarily officiating as
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
For several months past the Cheyenne
morning dailies have had more advertise
ing space than has been required by their
patrons, and the superfuous space has
been filed up with office ads" This
has caused unnecessary expense, and
therefore the publishers of the San and
LEADER have decided to cut down their
papers to twenty-eight columns. Conse-
qnently THE LEADER, this morning ap-
pears in tho reduced size, one column
less to the page than heretofore. Our
reading matter space, it will be observed,
has not been reduced, and we shall CON
tinue to furnish the regular amount of
foreign and local news daily. This ar
rangement makes the whole paper now
compact and Is Of advantage to advertis-
ers. Whenever our patrons shall demand
more advertising space, the publisher of
THE LEADER will be glad to furnish it.
